In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

With the silence of the Mi army, when our country’s oil drilling platforms in the South China Sea are operating, no Vietnamese people come to stop them. Chinese fishermen go deep into the southernmost tip of the South China Sea, and there is no Philippine money to expel them. In the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, although Airplanes from island countries often appear, but the number of patrols has been reduced a lot. Even if they see our planes during the flight, they still exercise restraint. to the same.

In addition, in other aspects, it is worth mentioning that the island countries have formally proposed negotiations on the East China Sea natural gas issue to our country.

When he received this news, Xu Ziling only felt a kind of relief in his heart.

The Americans are behind the scenes!Let their dog legs back down!

With such a result, he really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but while he was happy, he was also vigilant. Americans are not the kind of people who are easily discouraged. If they relax here, they may think of some crooked tricks from other places.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be known by just staring at one or two people. The lion's ability is the greatest, and there are certain restrictions. Otherwise, he will let the lion dispatch and monitor the Americans. In that case, he can know what plans the Americans have. .

"You think I'm omnipotent, the carrier can't limit my calculations for ordinary things, but now I have to monitor millions of people in the entire Star City, and I also need to help the laboratory perform simulation calculations, remotely monitor Markkula, and For other small things, if you want me to monitor the US government, it needs to be monitored 24 hours a day, and how much computing speed does it need? I can support it, but you don’t have such a carrier for me at all.” This is the lion at the time What I said to Xu Ziling.

With these words, Xu Ziling lost his mind to monitor the Americans, and in the end he had to let the lions monitor the heads of several intelligence agencies of the Americans, hoping to find something.

Handing over the aircraft carrier plan to the Jiangnan Factory means that the main combat forces in the sea and the air have been perfected. With the current level of technology, it is difficult to produce more advanced equipment. They are already in the leading position. It is necessary to think about how many years beyond the Americans, the most important thing now is to start improving other armaments.

After the delivery of the aircraft carrier plan, he officially started to build a large aircraft, and even put aside the B-2, a big killer, and ignored it.

In his opinion, it is time to get a large transport aircraft.

The reason why he was so urgent was a call from Tang Jiannian the day before.

"The higher authorities decided to establish a naval base in Sansha City." Tang Jiannian got the news, and for some reason, he immediately thought of Xu Ziling.

"Build our country's Guam?" Xu Ziling was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of the Guam military base of the Mi Army in the South Pacific.

Sansha City was established in response to the actions of the Philippines and Vietnam in the South China Sea. Compared with these two countries, our country has obvious disadvantages in the South China Sea, that is, the distance is too far, and how many South China Sea Fleet and South China Sea surveillance Boat?

Facing the 200 million square kilometers of the South China Sea, what can these ships do?

Because of this, the Philippines and Vietnam know that even if they do something in the South China Sea, our country's law enforcement ships will not react so quickly, so they are so unscrupulous.

When Sansha City was established, the Jiangnan Military Region only set up a garrison force on the island, and the garrison force has always been responsible for the city's security tasks. In Sansha, a special city, such troops are obviously not enough. Once a naval base is established, Na Sansha will become the southernmost supply base of our navy. Ships performing missions in the South China Sea will no longer need to return to the fleet port when they need to be supplied.

Sansha is nearly 1000 kilometers away from the port of the South China Sea Fleet, and a round trip is more than 25 kilometers. Calculated at a speed of [-] knots, this journey can save almost a day and a night.

During a war, every minute and every second is extremely important. If one day in the future, military force is used to regain the South China Sea, how useful is the establishment of such a base?

Undoubtedly, the importance of this base is enormous.

"Yes, the entire project is planned for two years. In addition to upgrading the existing pier, a new large pier will also be built." Tang Jiannian was smiling when he spoke, and it is conceivable that he must be very strange at this time comfortable.

You must know that once this base is established, it will be under the jurisdiction of his South China Sea Fleet, and it will benefit their South Sea Fleet too much.

"Oh? A large wharf? How big is it?" Xu Ziling frowned on the phone.

"Hey..." Tang Jiannian smiled triumphantly, "25-ton wharf."

……

Xu Ziling immediately understood that this time the higher authorities wanted to build Sansha into an all-round naval base, which could not only provide supplies for destroyers and frigates, but also be able to dock aircraft carriers!

"A carrier supply base, a submarine supply base, an aircraft supply base?" Thinking of these, Xu Ziling was a little excited, especially for fighter jets. When Sansha was established, it had already built a runway, which was fully capable of supporting the landing of medium-sized passenger planes. It is said that in addition to large transport aircraft, heavy fighters like the "Flying Eagle" can fully support them.

Once a supply base is set up here, it will increase the combat radius of [-] kilometers for fighter planes. Once there is a war in the South China Sea, the fighter planes of the South China Sea Fleet can fly over from the mainland, using Sansha as a transit point. In a sense From a technical point of view, this is no different from an aircraft carrier.

"Moving aircraft carrier!"

Strategic significance ah!

After chatting for a while, Xu Ziling learned from Tang Jiannian that the construction of the base would start in May. Only then did he know that the idea of ​​establishing a naval base in Sansha was not a matter of three or two days. To establish such a comprehensive military base on the island, many issues such as climate and geology must be considered. Without a year or two of preparation and preliminary detection work, it is absolutely impossible to start construction.

Since the higher authorities have decided to start construction next month, they must have done the preliminary work well.

Considering that Sansha is [-] kilometers away from the nearest place on the South Island and [-] kilometers away from the South China Sea Fleet, once the war starts, the transportation of materials will become a very real problem. If so, Xu Ziling thought of the transport plane.

The throughput of a small transport plane is too small, obviously there are too many restrictions on the transportation of materials. The supply ship can transport a lot of things at a time, but the speed of this thing is too slow, and it can still be used in normal times. In modern warfare, once When it starts, the battle is for time and backup. It is impossible for the fighter jets to run out of fuel, and the warships to run out of shells, and they have to stop there and wait for the arrival of the supply ship.

If that's the case, the war is over, and the supply ship hasn't arrived yet, such a war is still a fart.

Therefore, Xu Ziling felt that it was time for a large transport aircraft to be launched.

For a long time, not to mention that our country does not have the ability to manufacture large-scale aircraft, even if we want to buy it, there is only Russia. For example, we want to buy the c-17 that Xu Ziling saw at the Dubai Air Show. In the country, there are only a few companies capable of producing large cargo aircraft. This has resulted in the fact that our country has always relied on the Russians in this regard.

Of course, this time he made up his mind to build a large aircraft, not because of this single reason, but because of a recent incident that made him have to speed up the start of the large aircraft project:

Apart from the Il-76 and other models purchased from Russia, the existing domestic tankers and transport aircraft only have self-produced heavy-duty aircraft. Regardless of the attitude of a major country or the strategic needs, there is an urgent need for large-scale air transport of military and civilian cargo. aircraft to support.

It is precisely for this reason that China intends to spend huge sums of money to purchase Il-76 and other types of transport aircraft and tankers from Russia, but unexpectedly, Russia thinks that we can only find them as a seller in the world, and raises the quotation. Thirty percent.

For some people, this kind of thing is quite embarrassing, so it is not reported in the domestic media, but it is obviously impossible to hide it from Xu Ziling, because even if he doesn't pay attention to it, Someone still informed him.

Before participating in the Dubai Air Show last year, I thought of a large aircraft from a private jet. At that time, I was thinking too much about making money. I said this in front of Zheng Wenzhong. The large aircraft project is closely related to Shen Fei. He contacted Xu Ziling immediately after the price increase in Russia led to the cancellation of the purchase order.

While telling Xu Ziling about this matter, he also asked Xu Ziling from the side what was going on with his large aircraft plan.

It's just that Xu Ziling was busy with some things at the time, so he answered Zheng Wenzhong vaguely, without giving him any definite information, but now when he encountered the Sansha Naval Base, combined with the two, he felt that The large aircraft project should be formally approved.

If so, after finishing the phone call with Tang Jiannian and delivering the aircraft carrier plan in his hand, he put his mind on the heavy transport aircraft.

Last time at the Dubai Air Show, he "stealed" the C-17, a transport aircraft called the Globemaster III by the Mi Army.And the heavy-duty transport plane he wants to get himself comes from the optimization plan of this transport plane.

The reason why the c-17 was chosen at the beginning is because it is the only transport aircraft in the world that can adapt to strategic and tactical missions at the same time.In terms of load capacity, it is not as good as a giant like C5, but it is very flexible and has great advantages in take-off and landing. The Americans have actually tested it, and when the load does not exceed half, It is possible to land on a slightly better beach. <5 is 130 kilometers more, which is nearly [-] kilometers more than the c[-] Hercules. Once such a model is manufactured, there will be no need for freight or use of freight to transport goods from China to the Mackula base in Africa in the future. When transporting planes, we have to take the refueling route from other countries.
